 The Old Record Will Stand
My attempt to break last year's record of 126 commuting-days has been foiled. Due to road conditions this morning (four inches of snow and sleet, many unplowed roads, no way for cars to safely pass, etc.), I elected not to commute by bike. I was sure that I could make the trip by bike, but I was not comfortable with what the traffic around me would be doing.

So, for today, "discretion is the better part of valor." The best that I can do now is to tie last year's record. Oh well, like the Chicago Cubs fans say, "There's always next year!!
